Location: Berlin | It is a little intense to say the least. With a 27 I am sure I would be around 85mph but once loaded the 26 will be perfect. I gained over a foot and 10mph over the last boat. I am in love!!
I cannot imagine the bullet/stroker/ally guys running over 100. This is definitely my limit. |

| Anybody know where Rich and I can find tiny helmets for minnows? I think they will need them down at Spring Valley. LOL
Life insurance is all paid up. Bring on Spring Valley!! |

| Rich,
Those speeds sound like one oversized ripple away from disaster... wow impressive but a bit scary for this old guy.
Take care,

Location: Berlin | Jim, You have to pay close attention and always be ready to trim. The big mistake is letting off the throttle when instead you keep it pegged and trim down. The boat will always fall left by letting off the throttle and will not slow down as fast as with trim. This boat at 70mph (WOT, 1/4 trim) can take on any normal wave/wake at any angle without any issues. At 80, you got big problems. It is like anything, you get used to it. Oh yeah, you always wear your life vest and kill switch just in case of an off day
